Joe & Glenntaj,

Yes, this Neuropathy center is in Jacksonville and it's called the Neuropathy center Shands/Jacksonville, related to Shands hospital in Gainesville.

I had a punch biopsy done here when I saw my neurologist for the 1st time. He sent me to a surgeon who did the biopsy and sent it to a lab in New York and it came back as small fiber neuropathy. As far as any other tests done, no nothing. I had an appointment with my neuro a week ago and I told him I thought that my neuropathy was going into my stomach, back, butt and hands. His answer was, well thats what happens when you have neuropathy. I could not believe he said that to me. I mean I do understand that it can happen like that, but have some tact, which he lacks. He didn't even suggest to run any tests for other forms of neuropathy.

I just hope when I go to Jacksonville, that they will do a better job then my neuro did here. I don't want them to look at my medical records and say, yes you have PN, now go home.

I know they have neuropathy centers in Miami, Arizona, Jacksonville and I am not sure where the others are. But if you go on neuropathy.org you can find the centers located on that web site.

I have looked at Dellon Institute and we don't have one in Florida, plus I know mine is from damage from my diabetes.
